Bottom picture on page 28 of this month's Sprint.

Fourth car from the left, silver blue w reg. Chim.

Front wheel conversion looks superb, must improve cornering as well.

I'm concerned at the cost though; can anyone help?

Hello everybody,

Perhaps you can give me your views on my conversion.
Can't post photos so
Best to look up profile to see the car.

Based on a 19000m '98 450 Chimaera

Good or bad .....what do you think?

Er alot nicer than some I have seen - presumably it took a knock on the front for you to bother changing. Big Aston influence.

Is this the car that appeared in the classifieds a while back as the "Aston Martin light conversion" (or something like that)…?

Not convinced on the front splitter or the Ford Cosworth bonnet vents, but the lights look good.

I'd be interested to see some more pictures though...

"It's a Chimaera, Jim, but not as we know it".

Or is it an Aston wannabe? Or a Jaguar XK?

I dunno. I think the Aston influence is so great that it makes it look like one of those MR2-derived "Ferraris" inasmuch as the owner evidently wants the real car that his is meant to look like but can't afford it.

(DISCLAIMER: The above is not meant as negatively or as harshly as it may well come across in text.)

Don't like the wheels or the bonnet, but the lights and the splitter look cool to me

Would love to re-appraise it in the flesh

I admire the skill & effort but the look of it doesn't quite do it for me.
That said more pictures might change my mind.
